Iran has huge oil reserves. Syria does not. Rogin is NeoCon/Deep State trash.

Assad is still in power. The oil is going to Russia - that’s why they’re ‘helping’ Assad.

There's no oil & moderate amounts of natural gas. Syria was a net importer of energy in 2015, the last year the CIA measured.

The reasons Russia is involved are many, but grabbing up energy resources isn't one of them.

“There’s enough to cause trouble and fund a lot of terrorism, but Syria’s geographical location for oil and gas transport to Southern Europe is critical and that is what it is all about.”

And Lebensraum.

“Rogin is NeoCon/Deep State trash.”

I wonder what his moniker is here on Freerepublic.
